How VIA Reports Compare to Other Personality Tests
Not all personality assessments are built the same. Here's how VIA Reports stand out:
Scientific Foundation: Unlike tests that categorize you into types or personality traits, the VIA Survey is based on decades of positive psychology research. Your report reflects strengths you can intentionally grow and apply, not fixed labels.
Action-Oriented: Most tests describe who you are. VIA Reports show you how to use your character strengths and traits to improve life outcomes—from relationships to resilience to work performance. We also offer character course options for in-depth guidance in developing these signature strengths.
Accessible for All Ages: With options for adults, youth, teams, and professionals, VIA Reports are designed for real-world use, not just insights to read and forget.
